Colored wedding dress
Has anyone not had a white/ivory/champagne/etc wedding dress?
Specifically, I'm looking at a red dress.... not totally red... but the bodice is red, and there's a layered frilly part on the skirt... over a white wedding-ish type skirt...
our colors are going to be red and black.
I know my mother is going to flip, but I just love love love the look.
It's my second wedding, his first.

Re: Colored wedding dress
You rock that red dress lady
My only caution would be that if your mom is contributing to the wedding/dress she may feel like she gets veto power. So, if that's the case, I would consider paying for the dress yourself so that you have final say.
The final choice may be slightly different, because of financial limits... but I'd really like something like this.
I also happen to be aware she will not.
Those dresses you posted look beautiful. About 2004, wedding dresses with color pops were very popular. I remember red, purple, royal blue, and green as choices. You can choose whatever you wish as long as it fits the formality and time of day.
Who makes these beautiful gowns?
Have you checked out Pearl's Place? http://pearlsplace.com/ They are an established brick and mortar store in the New Orleans area, and they will order the authentic dress for you at a significant discount. All sales are final. No discount on Maggie Sottero
My daughter used Pearl's Place, and we paid $730 for a Demetrios dress that sold for $1300 in the bridal salon. Of course, you have to get your own independent alterations. They do not like to sell you a dress if you have not actually tried it on in person somewhere.
Before you fall in love with a picture you found on the internet, you need to get more information. Check out original designers websites, like DB, Alfred Angelo, DaVinci, Morilee, etc.
Another alternative is to find a previously owned dress. As I posted earlier, these "pop of color" styles were popular about six years ago. I am guessing this is where most of your photos are from. You will need to know the original designer name and style number. Do be sure you are buying an authentic dress, and not a Chinese knock off.
You didn't say what size you need, but here are possibilities:

Remember! NEVER buy from China!
I will be checking out the links though, thanks for those!

Queen Victoria had a white dress made to show her wealth and station because she wouldn't need to wear it again.
So yeah - I thought that was cool that it wasn't actually about virginity in the beginning that came after (bo!!!) I think it's super interesting. And something you can say if anyone questions the choice to not wear white.
Also, I think that red is quite a common choice for not white so I think if you call boutiques near where you live you can ask if they have any red dresses for you. Or if you say you have a family friend who's a seamstress why not ask her to make one?
